What makes the basecoat /clear different than the single stage color wise?

Don't know . My best guess is the way light goes through the clear .

Show off haha. He made a carbon/ kevlar would look great on you're car. Not to the point of bolting it up. I'm unsure if I'll like the look it gives the car

Why build a car if not to show it off I can see how you might be a little hesitant though. It makes a strong statement, and if it's not the look you're going for it could be a little over the top. Specially if your going for a more stock look. I have the sinking suspicion carbon fiber will be out dated sooner than I think. I gues that's why god made black paint.

Your car is looking absolutely amazing BTW. I've always been intimidated by that level of detail. I just don't have it in my.

I don't know about the spook. I suppose if you don't like the CF you could always paint it a flat black or body color. Now one of the lips like the Hakos have
I think some old JDM wheels would look great on this.
Are you still going to hang around with us when you get back to the NW?

Not sure what you mean "get back to the NW"? Normal World, Nut wagon, North West?? I'm hear, and I don't plan on going anywhere, so yes, I'm hanging. As for the wheels, the plan is a set of XXR 522. Very simple seven spoke, flat black rim. It's a Volk TE37 nock off for about 1/5 the price. I do plan on going to Canby next year, so hopefully I'll see you and your car there,

Thanks again!!! I did use new lenses

MAN! There is a fantastic synergy going on between the chrome bits and the shade of blue you chose. F**king brilliant! I'm with Byron, those tail lights are flat out gob smacking, but it's the blue against the frame that sets it off. Now that I see the body color in sunlight, I'm in lust. I can see why you're questioning the CF bumpers. IMO chrome is the way to go. Hat's off

Man, Phil the color is fantastic, especially outside. "A+" job!!!
